Brinker is not rated number 1 in any category.>> --No? Are you sure? Then please tell us who IS rated #1 for "long-term stock market timing." TIA. << If Brinker is claiming in his July newsletter that he is rated number one by Hulbert and Hulbert has no such rating there is only one conclusion. Brinker is lying.>> --My tentative conclusion is that Hulbert DOES have such a rating, but it wasn't discussed in the latest issue. It was probably discussed in some previous issue, and brinker was probably rated #1. Otherwise, brinker would not have mentioned it. Think about it. You apparently have seen the latest Marketimer. Was that #1 rating really played up big? No. It was just mentioned in the middle of a paragraph, in passing. Why would he write that if it wasn't true? He really gained NOTHING by writing it. He was writing it to people who are already subscribing, and you had to read virtually every word of the newsletter, or you would never even have seen it. What is REALLY obvious is that brinker had absolutely no reason to make something like that up, just to bury it in the middle of a paragraph in his newsletter. << It certainly is not a novel idea. Recall we have caught Brinker in some real whoppers that you have not ever been able to counter.>> --Please name one "real whopper" that you have "caught" him in? Do you mean like you have "caught" queen posting under other aliases? -:) <<And what's this with acting like you are a journalist and making a big deal correcting Honey's spelling?>> --I didn't make a big deal out of it. << As I recall you called Brinker a miscreant and then later claimed you didn't know the meaning of the word.>> --That's not really what I claimed, as I have explained numerous times. If YOU made a similar mistake, and then owned up to it and explained it, I would let it go. I would not keep throwing it back at you. But that is because I do not need to use tactics like that to win this debate. You obviously do.

"And Math, ok if you are not a Brinker believer but an honest critic, what say you to Brinker's claiming that he is rated number 1 by Hulbert in his July newsletter and according to those who have seen Brinker's rating in Hulbert he is no higher than 3rd on any of the myriad of lists that Hulbert has for a pretty small group of marketimers. "Is lying about that something that bothers you or do you agree with Dija and give him a pass because 'he was just spinning a little'?" I don't know what to make of it. I'm reluctant to draw conclusions without seeing whichever of Hulbert's issues gives results through January 31, 2006, and/or hearing Brinker's explanation of how he justifies that statement. Maybe he should arrange to answer this on the air. " Hulbert Financial Digest ranks Bob Brinker's Marketimer number one for long-term stock market timing through January 31, 2006. The Marketimer stock market timing model applied to the Wilshire 5000 Index has generated a compound annual rate of return of 14.2% for the past ten years, versus 9.1% for the Wilshire 5000 Total Market Index. Marketimer's stock market timing model has generated a compound annual rate of return of 15.3% for the past fifteen years, versus 11.8% for the Wilshire 5000 Total Market Index." bobbrinker.com
